THE ROBERT W. WHITAKER ARCHIVE

Before his presidential run, Pat Buchanan was the highest-paid columnist in America. You would think he would be using all that notoriety to get the big money back.

Pat used to be the leading respectable conservative. Now, instead of trying to get that title and all the money back, Pat Buchanan is sticking his neck out, WAY out.

WAY WAY out.

Pat actually dares defend the right of the white race to exist. But most conservatives still support the leftist ban on any such discussion.

We need to form a deadly serious organization aimed at protecting the rights of the right in general and especially those who dare talk about race. We can testify before state legislatures and congress. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR PUBLIC MONEY TO BE USED AGAINST THE RIGHT AND AGAINST WHITES TO INDOCTRINATE YOUTH. CAMPUSES SHOULD BE ABLE TO PROTECT ALL SPEAKERS, INCLUDING RIGHTISTS, OR THEY SHOULD LOSE THEIR TAX MONEY.

This sort of issue would raise its own funds. Granted, a lot of conservatives would attack us to get patted on the head by liberals. They could say they are more anti-extremist than the liberals are. There will always be people like that, and the media will favor them.

But there are enough people who see reality to support an organization and, if we have the guts and the brains, we will generate our own publicity without destroying ourselves.

But it will take guts and brains, and that let's the whole Shrewd Right out. Paul Weyrich pointed out in "The New Right Papers," in 1982, that the greatest weapon the right uses AGAINST ITSELF is, "We tried that once. It didn't work."

"The National Association for the Advancement of White People" and some outright racist organizations have tried to do what I am talking about here. But their political agenda is seen to take precedence over protecting real rights.

The NAAWP was set up at the wrong time and by the wrong people.

But I am talking about something deadly serious. Even the blindest -- with the exception of respectable conservatives and liberal Southerners, of course -- can now see that the program is that whites must lose every country and that whites must be chased down and made to disappear, no matter what the cost.

We can leave the Buchanans out there swinging gently in the wind with a respectable conservative lynch mob howling under the tree, or we can get SERIOUS about the rights of the right, and even the rights of whites.

But if you're not in this fight, don't fool yourself into thinking you have the right to say anything liberals don't approve of.
